I will not say the Guys today are not "Champions" but when i think of a Frank Zane or Bob Paris..really the difference is like day and night.

i agree there are some great builds out there but older champs and look were all different not same as today cycle,roll the dice see what developes...they trained back then hard,had unique builds..most are blocks now no shape or no flow,,,

Zane and Nubret (and others of that era) had a harmony of body parts. Muscles of one area seemed to flow and match other parts of their body, in that harmony. Each BB'er had individual characteristics that set them apart from another.

Not a question of Zane vs Nubret, but which type appeals most to you.

Present Pro's resemble cartoon characters, which I think the magazines, book and video producers are forcing on the general BB'ing public. When your a teenager, you might believe it's cool to look like them. As one matures, being honest with yourself, the current Pro's do look a bit ridiculous. Their health conditions are borderline ER room stat. Only my view but; Judging all this from many personal viewing of them, in the gym and out.

I agree 100%. As you get older you are more realistic and Health and well being is more important.
